His eight Champions League ends tonight! In Madrid and Westphalia we are expected to find out the last two teams that will complete the quarter-final puzzle.
Atletico Madrid and Inter face off at the Wanda Metropolitano, with the Italians holding a qualification lead after 1-0 in the first leg. At the same time, the Dortmund-Eindhofen it is extremely inconclusive after the 1-1 of the first match between them!
ATHLETIC MADRID – INTER
In bad condition and obviously deformed lately Atletico MADRID, which was confirmed by the recent 2-0 defeat by Cádiz. The whole of it Cholo Simeone in danger of being left out of the top four by Bilbao in the league, in the Cup… bye in the semi-finals when excluded from Valverde’s squad and now need more than a convincing performance to fly out Inter. In the first match, in fact, with the “neratzuri” she should feel… flattered by the fact that she was defeated 1-0.
At the same time, his well-worked team Simone Inzaghi breaking one record after another. It has already won the Super Cup, in the championship it has been lost from its pursuers and only the mathematical confirmation remains, while now it is called to complete the work of the first match. He is certainly superior to the “Rojiblancos”, but he will have to show it on the field, while in 2024 he counts 13/13.
Griezmann returns today after overcoming his injury. On the contrary, Jimenes, Lemar, Athpilicueta are out for Atlético. At the same time, Arnautovic, Augusto and Cuadrado, Sensi are not counted at Inter.
Possible lineups:
ATLETICO MADRID: Oblak – Savic, Witzel, Hermoso – Molina, Llorente, Koke, De Paul, Lino – Griezmann, Morata.
INTER: Sommer – Pavar, Acerbi, Bastoni – Darmian, Barela, Tsalhanoglou, Mkhitaryan, Dimarko – Tiram, Martines.

DORMUND – EINDHOFEN
It could also be a neighboring derby, even though they come from different countries since the two cities are only 150 kilometers apart. It is, however, a big battle and it is foreshadowed especially ambiguously after the 1-1 draw of the first game. And “Signal Iduna Park” is expected to be full, hoping to push her Dortmund in the “8” of the organization after four years. With the Eindhoven on her side to seek the ticket to the quarter-finals after 18 years and the 2006/07 season.
The Westphalians are having another mediocre season. Last year, that went to change but the coveted championship was lost with another suicide and this year it is in danger of even being out of the top four in Bundesliga. He is coming off a two-game winning streak, showing that he is coming together at the right time ahead of today’s rematch. Despite this, confidence does not inspire, especially suspensions. Unlike the Dutch, who are going full steam ahead for the league, having 22 wins and just 3 draws in 25 matches, but also 80-13 goals in that time in Eredivisie! She has some issues defensively, but she has a hot offense that … makes up for her weaknesses and will look to push her pace.
Sloterback is a big blow ahead of today’s match for Dortmund, while Ryerson is doubtful. From Eindhoven’s side, Lahn, Saibari remain out, while Fairman is doubtful.
Possible lineups:
DORTMUND: Kobel – Ryerson, Sule, Hummels, Maachen – Chan, Zabitcher – Mullen, Brandt, Sancho – Philkrug.
EINDHOFEN: Benitez – Tese, Suten, Bosali, Dest – Tillman, Firman, Till – Bakayoko, De Jong, Lozano.
Referee: Orsato (Italy)
